Angry Birds   (2016)
D:  Clay Kaytis & Fergal Reilly
W:  Jon Vitti

We went to the Swingin' Midway Drive-In tonight.  Originally, X-Men: Apocalypse had been scheduled for the back half of the twin-bill, but it ended up switching to Angry Birds when they sent out their showings via text.  We went anyway.  I didn't hate either movie.  In fact, I kinda liked Angry Birds--Vitti's got a good pedigree, and it surprised me a couple of times with the jokes.

Also, we got to see a shooting star!

The Village  (2004)
D:  M. Night Shyamalan
W:  M. Night Shyamalan

Yeah, it's ham-handed.  But there's something about it that I like.  I won't apologize for it.  It's not a good movie.  But there's something that keeps me from tossing this one on the discard pile.  Probably it's in the performances.  I like Bryce Dallas Howard in this.  A lot.  There's a lot of talent in this cast beyond her.  I'd forgotten that Brendan Gleeson was in it, though he does very little notable.  I'd also missed the bit where Judy Greer played Howard's sister in this, and would do so again in Jurassic World last year.
